Eunice, pictured above, has been a farmer for 17 years and is now proud to represent her group of 11 farmers in Kakamega North District. She is 32 years old, is married, and has six children.
Eunice likes to think of herself as a very hard-working individual. She has been working alongside One Acre Fund since 2013 and decided to represent her group because she wanted to help more farmers.

Eunice plans to use the profits from this coming season to send her children to school.
In total, Eunice’s Group will receive inputs to cultivate five acres of land. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light with this loan, the group will also receive a total of seven solar lights.

Rosemary is 54 years old and has eight children. She is a group leader and is representing her group formed by 15 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya.
Rosemary has been farming with One Acre Fund for years now, having joined the program for the first time in 2010. This decision was largely a result of her desire to get the best quality fertilizer and hybrid seeds and, although she described her last harvest as very good, she believes she could have a better one this year by continuing to work alongside One Acre Fund. Rosemary also decided to purchase a solar light as part of her loan, which she is very excited about, as it will allow her to have light during dark hours for her children to be able to study.
Obtaining this loan means that Rosemary's Group will be able to receive a total of 10 solar lights, as well as farming inputs to plant a total of 8.5 acres.

Betty is 26 years old and is often described as a very hard-working individual. She is married and has three children. As her group's leader, Betty is representing her group of 15 farmers in Webuye District in Kenya. She is very excited this year to be working with One Acre Fund for the first time.
The decision to join One Acre Fund was largely a result of Betty's desire to have access to quality training and to acquire new farming methods. Apart from receiving farming inputs, such as cost-efficient hybrid seeds and fertilizer for maize cultivation, she is also purchasing a solar light as part of her loan. This is very exciting to her as she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money. With the profits that she gains from this year’s harvest, she plans to send her children to school.
Betty and her group will receive a total of nine solar lights as well as loans for farm inputs of maize seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of seven acres.

Pictured above is Everlyne, often described as an extremely experienced farmer. She is 36 years old and, as a group leader, she is representing her group of 14 farmers in Kakamega North District, Kenya. She is married and has 3 children.
Everlyne is returning this season to work with One Acre Fund again as this means that she is able to get the best quality fertilizer and hybrid seeds, which is why she decided to join in the first place. Everlyne says that she is happy to have made that decision because, since she first joined in 2013, she has been able to consistently feed her family, which has improved her day-to-day life significantly. Everlyne will use the profits from this season to send her children to school.
The group will use this loan to purchase seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.75 acres. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of 9 solar lights.

Rosemary is 43 years old and has 11 children. She has been a farmer for more than 20 years, and is always said to be a very hardworking individual. Even though Rosemary is the only one featured in the above picture, she is actually representing her group formed by 11 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya.
Rosemary started working alongside One Acre Fund a few years ago, in 2011, and decided to do so because she wanted to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. Since then, she has seen her life improve; especially in the sense that she has had more profits from each harvest ever since. This year she decided to represent her group because she wanted to spread the story of One Acre Fund farmers.
Rosemary’s Group will receive farming inputs to plant a total of six acres of land. Additionally, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light so, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of six solar lights.

Jane is a 54-year-old, proud mother of 10 children. She is a group leader, often described as a very hardworking individual, and is representing her group of 13 farmers in Webuye District. Since joining One Acre Fund in 2012, Jane has noticed that she has been able to consistently feed her family.
Jane described her harvest as good last year, but believes she can have a better one this year by continuing to work with One Acre Fund. She is very excited to also be purchasing a solar light, apart from fertilizer and maize, because she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel, and therefore save more money. With the profits from this season’s harvest, she plans to buy a cow.
With this loan, Jane’s Group will be able to plant a total of 9 acres of land and purchase a total of 6 solar lights.

With this loan, the group will receive farming inputs to cultivate a total of 6 acres of land. They will also receive a total of 12 solar lights, because, even though Clement decided not to, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light as part of their loan package.

Anne, featured in the above picture, is representing her farming group formed by 11 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya. She is 42 years old and a married mother of five children. She is often described as a very trustworthy person.
Although Anne has been a farmer for more than 20 years, she is new to One Acre Fund and decided to join this year because she really wanted to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. Even though she is new to the program, Anne wanted to represent her group because she wanted to help more farmers. With the profits earned from this season’s harvest, Anne hopes to be able to send her children to school.
With this loan, the group will receive farming inputs to plant a total of 4.25 acres of land. They will also receive a total of 10 solar lights. Even though Anne decided not to, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light as part of their loan package.

In total, Henry’s Group will receive inputs to cultivate 10.5 acres of land. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of 7 solar lights.

Matthew is 75 years old and has 8 children. He is a group leader and is representing his group formed by 11 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya.
Matthew has been farming with One Acre Fund for years now, having joined the program for the first time in 2011. This decision was largely a result of his desire to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods and, although he described his last harvest as good, he believes he could have a better one this year by continuing to work alongside One Acre Fund. Matthew also decided to purchase a solar light as part of his loan, which he is very excited about, as it will allow him to have light during dark hours for his children to be able to study.
Obtaining this loan means that Matthew's Group will be able to receive a total of 6 solar lights, as well as farming inputs to plant a total of 7.25 acres.

Jack is 29 years old and is often described as a very trustworthy person. He has two children and is married. As a group leader, Jack is representing his group of 15 farmers in Kakamega North District in Kenya, and is very excited to be working with One Acre Fund for the first time this year.
The decision to join One Acre Fund was largely a result of Jack's desire to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. Apart from receiving farming inputs, he is also purchasing two solar lights as part of his loan, which is very exciting to him as he will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money.
With the profits that he gains from this year’s harvest, he plans to send his children to school.
Jack and his group will receive a total of 19 solar lights, as well as input loans of maize and fertilizer to plant a total of 9.5 acres.

Sifuna is 60 years old and has six children. He has been a farmer for twenty years and is always said to be a very reliable person. Even though Sifuna is the only one featured in the above picture, he is actually representing his group formed by twelve farmers in Kakamega North District, Kenya.<br /><br />Sifuna started working alongside One Acre Fund a few years ago, in 2011, and decided to do so because he wanted to get the best quality fertilizer and hybrid seeds. Since then, he has seen his life improve, especially in the sense that he has learnt a lot from farming trainings ever since. This year he decided to represent his group because he wanted to spread the story of One Acre Fund farmers.<br /><br />Sifuna’s Group will receive farming inputs to plant a total of six acres of land. Additionally, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light so, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of eleven solar lights.

Metrine is 34 years old and is often described as a very trustworthy person. She has four children and is married. As a group leader, Metrine is representing her group of eight farmers in Webuye District in Kenya, and is very excited to be working with One Acre Fund for the first time this year.
The decision to join One Acre Fund was largely a result of Metrine's desire to earn enough to send her children to school. Apart from receiving farming inputs, she is also purchasing a solar light as part of her loan, which is very exciting to her, as she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money. With the profits that she gains from this year’s harvest, she plans to buy a cow.
Metrine and her group will receive a total of seven solar lights as well as input loans of maize and fertilizer to plant a total of 4.25 acres.

Pictured above is Emily, often described as an extremely trustworthy person. She is 26 years old and, as a group leader, she is representing her group of 13 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya. She is married and has four children.
Emily is returning this season to work with One Acre Fund again as this means that she is able to get the best quality fertilizer and hybrid seeds, which is why she decided to join in the first place. Emily says that she is happy to have made that decision because, since she first joined in 2012, she has been able to consistently feed her family, which has improved her day-to-day life significantly. Emily will use the profits from this season to buy a cow.
The group will use this loan to purchase seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.25 acres. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light with this loan, the group will also receive a total of five solar lights.

Florence, pictured above, is married and has four children. She is a group leader and is representing her group, formed by eight farmers in Webuye District, Kenya. She joined One Acre Fund for the first time in 2009 and decided to represent her group because she wanted to help more farmers.
With a portion of this loan, Florence will not only purchase maize seeds and fertilizer for the coming harvest season, but also two solar lights. Receiving two solar lights as part of her loan means that she will be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money. Florence plans to use the profits she gains this year to send her children to school.
Florence’s Group will use the inputs received from this loan to plant a total of 4.25 acres of land. They will also receive 11 solar lights.

Christopher is the group leader of his group in Webuye District, and he is representing fourteen farmers, including himself. He is married and a proud father of four children. Christopher joined One Acre Fund for the first time this season, but he has been a farmer for ten years.
Like many other farmers, Christopher decided to work with One Acre Fund in order to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. He hopes that by joining One Acre Fund and using the seeds and fertilizer he will get with this loan, he can join the ranks of One Acre Fund farmers that have doubled their harvest in their first year of the program. He plans to use the profits he earns from this year’s harvest to send his children to school.
Christopher's Group will use the farming inputs received with this loan to cultivate a total of 6.25 acres of land. They will also receive a total of 14 solar lights, as, even though Christopher decided not to, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light as part of their loan package.

Jesca has been farming with One Acre Fund for years now, having joined the program for the first time in 2009.

Consolata is a 45-year-old proud mother of 8 children. She is a group leader, often described as a very hardworking individual, and is representing her group of 15 farmers in Webuye District. Since joining One Acre Fund in 2012, Consolata has noticed that she has gained a lot of respect in her community.
Consolata described her harvest as excellent last year, but believes she can have a better one this year by continuing to work with One Acre Fund. She is very excited to also be purchasing a solar light, apart from fertilizer and maize, because she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money. With the profits from this season’s harvest, she plans to send her children to school.
With this loan, Consolata’s Group will be able to plant a total of 9.75 acres of land and purchase a total of 8 solar lights.

Pictured above is Rose, often described as an extremely resourceful person. She is 35 years old, and, as a group leader, she is representing her group of 14 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya. She is married and has four children.
Rose is returning this season to work with One Acre Fund. This means that she is able to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods, which is why she decided to join in the first place.
Rose says that she is happy to have made that decision because, since she first joined in 2014, she has been able to save more money, which has improved her day-to-day life significantly. Rose will use the profits from this season to send her children to school.
The group will use this loan to purchase seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 7.5 acres. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light, with this loan the group will also receive a total of 6 solar lights.

Beatrice, featured in the above picture, is representing her farming group formed by 12 farmers in Webuye District, Kenya. She is 60-years-old, a married mother of 6 children, and often described as a very hardworking individual.
Although Beatrice has been a farmer for more than 40 years, she is new to One Acre Fund and decided to join this year because she really wanted to earn enough to feed her family. Even though she is new to the program, Beatrice wanted to represent her group because she wanted to help more farmers. With the profits earned from this season’s harvest, Beatrice hopes to be able to send her children to school.
With this loan, the group will receive farming inputs to plant a total of 5 acres of land. They will also receive a total of 11 solar lights, as, even though Beatrice decided not to, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light as part of their loan package.

This decision was largely a result of his desire to earn enough to send his children to school and, although he described his last harvest as good, he believes he could have a better one this year by continuing to work alongside One Acre Fund. <br /><br />Jotham also decided to purchase a solar light as part of his loan, which he is very excited about, as it will allow him to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money.<br /><br />Obtaining this loan means that Jotham's Group will be able to receive a total of eight solar lights, as well as farming inputs to plant a total of 5.25 acres.
